5 Hits for Bulldogs Miller
After the <Punta Gorda:team#70> 7-6 loss to <Bradenton:team#69> and his 5-hit day second baseman <Jim Miller:player#5287> told reporters, "It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school, or college ball. Two hits in a game is very good, three or four hits even better, five or more are out of sight ... and if it is in pro ball, it is really something special. It will get you in the record books, but you won't necessarily win the ballgame." The 20-year-old player got into the record book today with a spectacular 5 for 6 game against the <Bradenton Bucs:team#69>. The skipper of the Bulldogs spoke glowingly of <Miller:player#5287>, telling BNN writers, "His swing is getting there. We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. <Jim:player#5287> did that to perfection today. I just wish some more of our players swung the bat as good as him. We might have won the game." <Jim Miller:player#5287> singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off <Mike Welsh:player#3921> in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.
